one from 2012 and one from 1998, completely different genres and story lines...probably the only thing they have in common is the fact that these two have the most amazing, strongest and most beautiful love between the leads ive ever seen...the chemistry is so amazing in both of them, it is actual love they show, not the cutesy-wutesy-crush-thingy they show in romcom dramas...so yeah, thats pretty much the only thing they share, but im absolutely sure that if one made u squeal, so will the other:)
Both are melodramas about people finding love while dealing with a devastating illness. Precious Time (1998) is a classic and is one of the best romance dramas produced. It features international superstar, Kaneshiro Takeshi. Don't avoid it due to subject matter. It has an uplifting ending. Boku no ita Jikan is more difficult to watch.
